Quick Summary
A contractor who has built a site and uses a third-party canteen service for their labourers is facing an 18% GST charge. They are unable to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) due to block credit rules. The contractor is seeking clarification on whether ITC is permissible, especially if there's a legal obligation to provide food, and if the tax rate could be reduced to 5%.

If there is legal compulsion that u should provide food to labour then only itc is allowed
No isn't, now as tax part is our cost so can it be 5% instead of 18%
